We are considering changing to Story of the World from Bookshark. I do not see a readers list (books for the kids to read in addition to read aloud volumes). Does anyone know if there is a readers list that accompanies this curriculum? Thank you.

In searching for curriculum to teach poetry, I stumbled upon a book for 3rd grade readers that separated the syllables of multi-syllable words. The books taught history, if I remember correctly. I thought they would be a great supplement for my beginning and struggling readers. Is this a resource that sounds familiar to anyone? -
If there is a thread I've overlooked answering this question, please let me know! We are doing Story of the World volume 1 Ancient Times this year. I'd love to find a readers list (not read a louds but books my dd can read on her own) that goes along with ancient civilization. I'm looking for 3rd-4th grade reading level. She is a rising 2nd grader, so I'm also being aware of content and comprehension being appropriate. Thank you! -
What practice "readers" (small books like BOB Books) have you used successfully alongside OPGTR for Kindy & 1st grade? It's hard to find some that seem to go along with her sequence and don't add in a whole lot of sight words.

I remember last year Sonlight offered a summer reader package. We didn't purchase it, but used that list for our library trips for my avid reader. I can't find anything like that on their website today. Are they not doing a summer reader package this year?? -
I'm looking for more readers for my dd who is about to finish AAR1 and was wondering, what are the approximate reading levels after AAR1 and also while or after AAR2? I see some graded level readers on ebay I'm interested in but not sure which levels would be best for now or in the near future to have around. Also, any other suggestions for good readers?

Sheila Carroll of Living Books Curriculum has tidied up the Free & Treadwell readers and is offering a digital download of the primer, first and second readers, and teacher's manual, plus "perception cards" (not sure what those are) on her site. Info here. Alternatively they are available for free online (inc at Google and Main Lesson) and for sale in print from Yesterday's Classics. -
I am looking at using the Epi Kardia kindergarten curriculum in the Fall, and I need to buy a bunch of readers. I am looking at buying them on Amazon, but their book shipping seems high. Is there a better way? Epi Kardia doesn't sell a 'complete' package, so I need to buy the books singly. I am thinking of purchasing one unit at a time unless it's cheaper to buy them all at once. I do plan to use my library some, but they have less than 1/2 of the titles recommended. Thanks! Karen -
My 4 yo started reading on his own a few months ago, and really enjoys the Little Bear and Owl at Home books. Contrary to his brother, who enjoyed more humorous or adventuresome books, my little guy likes sweet, good-natured books like Little Bear that focus on kindness, gentleness and friendship. Unfortunately for my budget, he's not interested in most of the 40+ readers I own, so we're going to utilize the library and used book fairs to gather up readers for him that he enjoys. Can you suggest books along the lines of Little Bear that he might enjoy? Thanks! -
Bless this child's heart ...she wants to be grown up like her 5th grade twin brothers. She keeps checking out Redwall series books to and they are way above her level. She loved Magic treehouse but hasnt found a new series that ignited her the same way. Boxcar didnt set her on fire , Nancy Drew is little too advanced and she has read a few American Girl books but is not crazy about them. Thanks Trisha

I've tried searching the boards but haven't come up with anything. Pathway readers and McGuffey are Christian. Elson apparently is overtly patriotic and contains a few bible stories. Is there a secular reader available? It can be a single volume or multiple books. It would just be nice to have our reading practice already lined up in one place.

I was at Barnes and Noble tonight looking for readers for my 5 year old. I found this series called "Top Readers" that is put out by Barnes and Noble. They are readers similar to the "Step into Reading" books but they are all non-fiction. What I liked the most about them was that even the step one books had good information. I like some of the Step into Reading books but I find the earlier ones are all movies, disney and barbie stuff. They don't get decent until step 3 and 4. The Top Readers are about science, history, geography, animals.... All kinds of stuff. My daughter is ready for the Level 1 books and we got Birds, Big Cats and The Great Wall of China. She loves them. Just thought I'd share. Finding interesting books a 5 year old can read is a tall order. Heather -
If DD didn't like more than half of the Sonlight readers, do you think she would like HOD better? She is about one step below Magic Tree House books in her willingness to read books. (She is a couple of steps ahead in her ability, but won't do that independently.) Everyone is saying that it is important to have children read good literature. Could you help me decide what to do with her. Thank you!

I really want to stick with an ungraded phonics program. I want the child to move at his own pace and programs that cover phonics over 4 years just bug me. But one good thing about phonics by grade level is that they often come with readers that directly match up with the curriculum. What readers are you using if you are using an ungraded phonics program like Alphaphonics, Phonics Pathways, Ordinary Parents, Reading Reflex, Explode the Code, etc?

We are officially reading all the B.Bs with inflection and attention to punctuation (YEAH). What next? Any suggestions?

I found 3 editions dating back to 1920 at a used book shop and bought them mainly for the nostalgia. I was wondering however, if anyone still uses them and if so, what exactly do you do with them?
